- Was Pilgrimage of Grace a threat to Henry VIII ?
- Yes
- The scale of it was a threat - 30,000 took part, when Norfolk was sent up he only had 8,000 soldiers
- Norfolk had to negotiate with the Pilgrims - he can't put the rebels down
- No other law that Henry passed had caused this type of reaction from the people
- This could be seen as the Pilgrims questioning the decisions Henry makes as King - this would mean it was a threat to Henry and his rights as King.
- The Pilgrimage had the support of some of the gentry e.g. Lord Darcy - Henry relied on these for troops
- The nobility should be trying to help stop the Grace - could be seen as a challenge to Henry
- The scale of it was a threat - 30,000 took part, when Norfolk was sent up he only had 8,000 soldiers
- No
- The rebellion never made it / popular in the South (London) it was only in the North where religion was most prominant
- It was more of a threat to Cromwell and Richard Rich (mentioned in Pontefract Articles)
- People saw them as 'lowly advisors' who misadvised the King and maintained the Protestant faith
- The Pilgrims weren't questioning Henry's power or trying to gain. They were trying to put pressure on him to change his decisions
- Instead they blame Parliament as all Acts have to go through Parliament
- Yes
